8 Times Rihanna Graced The TL With Her No-Makeup Photos

Rihanna's been nailing the full-beat since her "Pon de Replay" days. There were the razor-thin eyebrows on the cover of British Vogue, the green lipstick at the iHeartRadio Music Awards(don't lie, you tried it after that), and lest we forget, the hot pink cheekbones at the Met Gala. I'd argue that it's looks like these that've fortified her success in the cosmetics world. Of course, Fenty Beauty is celebrated for its rich formulas and expansive shade range, but Rihanna's bold makeup choices are yet another reason the brand's bronzers, foundations, and lipglosses are flying off the shelves.

But, because RiRi's always one to keep you guessing, the bad gal's no-makeup moments are almost just as prevalent as her full-glam ones. Every now and again the mogul will take to Instagram and remind everyone of the flawless complexion she's got going on underneath the powders and shimmer. It's not to be brave nor is it a ploy to show her fans how "real" she is, it's just her face—yet another look that's got us as captivated as her last.

And considering the launch of her newest venture, Fenty Skin, it only makes sense to celebrate all the times Ri graced the feed with a bare face (usually near a large body of water and palm trees, all while soaking up the sun) as enthusiastically as fans have applauded her brightest and boldest makeup looks.

Ahead, a curated selection of Rihanna's most captivating bare-faced moments.
